White Rabbit

The Mob Boss & the Waif

My ex put me in the hospital.

His enemy steals me,

and now I’ve fallen down a rabbit hole I may not escape.

When I was in a coma, I was lost in a loop of nightmare

and nirvana. What was real? I didn’t know.

But waking, staring into those ice-blue eyes,

I see salvation.

I shouldn’t have begged him to take me from there.

I shouldn’t have gone home with him.

Out of the frying pan and into he fire. That’s what they say, right?

And that’s where I land. Yeah, I fell down the rabbit hole and landed

right in a fire I can’t escape. That I’m not sure I want to escape.

That salvation? He’s Valariy Kloboucnik, a drop-dead gorgeous mafia boss

in a world much darker than what I’ve escaped.

And by my own mistake, I’m his prisoner.

I’m his plaything.

I’m his.

Valariy is obsessed.

Jealous.

Possessive.

A filthy rich with an even a filthier mouth.

And I’m…

Out of my league.

But I won’t be a victim. Not anymore.

Not for the man Valariy stole me from.

Not for Valariy’s associates.

And not for Valariy himself.

Sometimes, you have to save yourself,

but saving myself means escaping the man I burn for.

I’m not sure I’m strong enough to escape his seduction.

To escape a world where I’m drowning.

And if I do… Is there somewhere worse to fall than into his fire?
